IN MEMORIAM.
The death of Miss Hurry, who was
living in the family of Chas. Green,
was a great shock to her relatives, land
friends which were many. Although
Miss Hurry had only -been-in the fam
lily one week, her Christian spirit had
won the love of all about her and Mr..
Green's folks felt as though death was
entering their own fold; they did all
that mortal hands could do but of no
avail. After thirty six hours of intense
suffering Miss uurly passed away. The
remains were carried to Frampton, P.
Z. for interment.
Respectfully addressed to the friends
of the late Miss Hurly, who died at
Canaan, Vt, November, 1887.
Can it be true that she has gone
To join the bright angels above,
That Jesus has called her quietly away
To her last home of peace and lover
Quickly her spirit has taken its flight,
But oh, what sad hearts left behind
Though the trial seems harder than you can
bear,
Still the Saviour is loving and kind.
Although He has taken the fitirest of flowers
That adorned and frightened your home
We all are bought with a price,
So He only has taken his own.
He only has taken II is own
Where she is safe from all trouble and care
One less treasure for you upon earth,
But one more in your home up there.
Only has taken His own
Fiom the SIN that doth hinder us so;
She only has crossed the river of death,
Where all sooner or later must GO
She has pierced tn vale that intervenes,
And laid her burden down;
Only Laid down the cross of life
70 take up the golden crown.
Yes she has gone before
And is safe in the heavenly fold,
And with unseen hand is beck'ning you DER
To the beautiful portals of gold.
Twill only be a little while,
And the loved ones again Will meet;
God grant that the circle now broken up
May again be Joined and complete.
